StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show, where people tell short and true stories from their lives. Or just listen and laugh. The theme changes every month. The theme this month is: Honesty.
HOW THE SHOW WORKS:
Anybody can put their name in the hat for a chance to tell their true, personal story on the theme.
Storytellers will be mostly picked at random from the names in the hat. We may have one or two special picked guests. We usually have time for 8 to 10 open-mic storytellers. We also present one or two Featured Storytellers from our wonderful storytelling community. These are people who have won awards at various shows, or just are known to us for their great storytelling style and charisma. The Featured Storytellers tell true, personal stories, but a little longer than the open-mic'ers. Our featured storyteller this month is comedian Matt Gubser. Matt has been part of SF Weekly's "Best of the Bay" and was named “Comedian’s Comedian” in the Bay Area Stand Up Comedy Awards. His first special, "Daddy Issues" can be seen on Next Up Comedy. His most recent album, “Before He Was Famous,” reached #2 on Amazon Music's comedy chart. This is Matt's first time telling a true story for StorySlam Oakland.
There is excellent food and drink available from the Sound Room cafe.
The venue is wheelchair accessible. There will be one intermission.
